HiIs Chromecast going to be supported for Foxtel Go? I'm a bit annoyed as a current Foxtel Platnum customer paying good money each month that I can't access the new Foxtel now app. This surely needs to be rectified as existing customers should be rewarded with greater access to the service.

Pretty disappointing really. Very ordinary that the ones who pay more for the service, have less flexible ways of watching it. If you can watch Foxtel Play/Now on platforms such as Telstra TV and Chromecast, then those who pay a premium should have access too.

I'm also a Premium customer and I I'm not happy about the lack of service from Foxtel in particular not being able to use Chromecast with Foxtel Go. Netflix is looking more attractive every day. If Foxtel wants to retain it's customers, it needs to keep up with its competitors and provide the services its customers expect.

Seriously Foxtel will never allow Chromecast with Foxtel Go. If they did no one would ever bother with multi room boxes and Foxtel's revenue would take a massive hit. Foxtel Go is a free add-on designed to let Foxtel subscribers watch on mobile/tablet devices when away from home. It was and never will be designed to allow big screen viewing.

That's the problem Alonso. Foxtel is too busy trying to milk the customers it has rather than giving them reasons to stay connected. I pay over $100 a month for my service. Being able to watch the service in another room is not a big ask.

I think it is absolutely disgraceful the way Foxtel has designed it's services. Having two separate services, Foxtel Now and Foxtel app, is cheating their customers. There are zero technical limitations to allowing the best of both worlds combine. In fact the Foxtel Now app and the Foxtel app app are identical in every way, except the Now app supports casting to devices (ie Chromecast) and can be accessed directly on your web browser (the way Netflix works). Foxtel has simply 'turned off' these features for premium customers. It's an absolute scam. No two ways about it. They are maximising profits through their monopolization of the cable market. Absolute disgrace. And unfortanely for us all, the shamble that is the NBN will only allow Foxtel to hold onto their monopoly until all Australians truly do have Gigabit internet speeds and allow true competition to enter the market. Shame on you Foxtel for putting profits before good service.
